One of the old features on the way to the new client in League of Legends

Soon, you’ll be able to buy skins right from Champ Select in League of Legends, just like the good ol’ days, according to the most recent PBE update.

Do you remember when you could make an impulse decision to spend your money on a skin seconds before a game starts? Yeah, we do too. Don’t worry, though, because (go figure) Riot wants you to have every chance you need to buy some skins. After all, it is a business.

If you’re a brand new player who never experienced the old client, you’re missing out on a lot of small features. There were several parts of the old client that weren’t compatible yet with the new one when it shipped, so rather than delay the release of the updated client for these smaller features, Riot just cut them out altogether.

There are other features on the way from the old client as well, including unlocking champions from the Collection page and the item set creator tool. Buying skins from champ select is being tested on the PBE right now, so we can expect the feature to go live in a couple of weeks in Patch 7.11.
